I didn’t even use a lash curler in my demo video and the volume that I got from the brush/formula was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this brush! The plastic nubs both brush and coat the lashes evenly and reduce the amount of clumps while separating them. It really is a great drugstore brand mascara that holds its own against many department store brands. -

his product totally rocks and it delivers on it’s promise! Correcting and priming the skin in the form of powder. I find that almost all primers are liquid this is the first time I have seen a claim of “primer” on a powder and although I don’t think it works as well as liquid primers I do believe it does prime in the way of making out skin tone even and lessening imperfections. The special colour blend is truly what makes this product do what it does. As for the natural-looking finish I don’t know that I would feel comfortable just using this powder on it’s own but I will agree that it doesn’t cake, crease or settle into fine lines even when I put this right on top of my moisturized skin. Thumbs up to this great product, I would suggest this powder to anyone and I may even pay the full price of $19.99 for 0.29 Oz./8.2g. -

This shampoo totally rocks my world!
Seriously when I wash my hair with this stuff it already feels conditioned when I am rinsing. I know I will still have to condition cause I have crazy monster hair that sucks up the moister but still.
The shampoo is delightful and smells super yummy! The shampoo truly does restore my hair and makes it silky and soft.

I think this BB Cream has some redeeming qualities like the texture and I have spoken with a few other women who truly adore this cream but for me it really is not the right fit. I would recommend this to women who had nearly flawless, normal skin …that is if they can get over the smell of it upon application. Otherwise for women with combination/oily skin who have some blemishes that need to covered I don’t recommend this. -

The promises that the that Vichy makes in this laundry list is quite extensive and they throw around a whole lot of big words and ingredients. At first glance I am both impressed and overwhelmed by the list of things that this product is supposed to do for my face. ”Instant perfection for uneven skin tones” yes I did find the coverage quite nice a good mid-point between foundation and tinted moisturizer but a little hard to apply because I found it to be slightly thick. It was nice to know the vitamins in the product where there and hopefully it did provide anti-oxidants to my face. Hyaluronic acid?? I didn’t even know what that was until now. It’s been dubbed the ”key to the fountain of youth” and occurs naturally in humans and animals. It can be taken from natural sources (from rooster combs or cow eyes) or synthetic (brewed up in a lab) as well as glycerine is a hydrating substance made from animal fats or vegetable oils. While it ravels about mineral and organic UV filters I’m not sure if I was so worried about organic things that it would matter at this point after I have slathered up my face with all the other animal byproducts that most likely are not organic (please if I am wrong let me know). I used this product for 1 week and found I did not need to use an additional moisturizer and it didn’t increase the oiliness on my face. -

Overall I think this product really does live up to the hype. The gel-cream formula is light, smooth, non-greasy and non-sticky. I found applying it easy and quite spa like – the smell is not overpower yet very soothing and relaxing (if a smell can do that) I did notice a difference in my skin when I woke up in the morning – it looks more smooth – like almost plumped out (not in a “hello I’m a marshmallow face” kind of way either) more like the claims say – just visibly rested. As for the mineral spa water claim – I have no way to verify if this is what really helps with the hydration or if its just an effect from the increasingly complex set of ingredients with extreamly long names like Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide (which is apparently an emulsion stabilizing, viscosity controlling ingredient) that makes a difference in my skin. Perhaps it’s the hyaluronic acid that’s the key ingredient – It’s been dubbed the ”key to the fountain of youth” and occurs naturally in humans and animals. It can be taken from natural sources (from rooster combs or cow eyes) or synthetic (brewed up in a lab) as well as glycerine is a hydrating substance made from animal fats or vegetable oils. -
